UNSPSC 20122838: Shale shakers

UNSPSC 20122838 Shale shakers, a Commodity code, does not reflect state and local procurement activity grounded in the recent opportunities block. The single solicitation on record—Sourcewell's RFP #061626 for law enforcement equipment posted May 12, 2026, with a response deadline of June 16, 2026—targets tactical and protective gear for police and sheriff departments, not industrial drilling or fluid-handling equipment. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (shale-drilling shakers) and the actual procurement (law enforcement supplies) signals that this code sees little relevant state and local contract activity or has been misapplied to opportunities outside its intended taxonomy.

Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government cooperative, issued the opportunity on behalf of participating counties in Washington state—Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima—along with public entities throughout the United States and Canada. The cooperative purchasing framework permits thousands of government agencies, school districts, nonprofit organizations, and tribal governments to access the resulting contract vehicle. No other recent opportunities appear in the source, and no geographic concentration or issuing-body pattern emerges to characterize active procurement under this code in state and local markets.
